March at Oxford High School

We are open-minded. We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as
well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a
range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the
experience. Students from various spent some time with Dr. Jay Marks, from Oakland Schools. Dr. Marks is a diversity and equity consultant who works with students and/or staff on topic surrounding diversity, equity, race and social justice. The purpose for his visit was to gather student voice to identify areas of our building culture which can improve. Dr. Marks will work with staff in assessing our student needs so that we can continue to improve how we support our students next school year.

Our Student Newspaper staff launched a new website in October: www.Ohsnews.org. Our dedicated team of 18 writers, five of whom pull double-duty as editors, and one dedicated website manager - are working hard to report the news in an unbiased, fair and balanced way. Please check them out!

Our OHS News Broadcasting has also made some outstanding updates to their daily news show. You can subscribe to their YouTube Channel and even set alerts to receive their news each day.

From the Oxford Community School district and Oxford HS, we hope everyone had a special Holiday and Happy New Year! Unity and Connectedness. Regardless of what you celebrate, our traditions bring our students and learning community closer. These moments create positive memories for our students, a supportive environment and something to look forward to. As IB Learners, we strive to be open mindedand appreciate the values and traditions of others.We know our students crave the comfort and security that comes with traditions and predictability. Traditions are a wonderful way to anchor our learning community together, providing a sense of unity and belonging. When students feel they belong and are connected to their environment, learning will begin to deepen. A Season of Giving. This Holiday, our students, parents and staff outdid themselves again by donating and collecting items for less fortunate families in our community.

Oxford High School is proud to announce Mr. John Hill as our 2017-2018 Teacher of the year! Many people across the state know John Hill outside of OCS for his incredible musical talent. He is an experienced and skilled performing musician. However, what makes him so unique is not his skill, knowledge or experience. It's his capacity to create meaningful relationships with our students and get the very most out of their ability. “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care” ― Theodore Roosevelt Mr. Hill is actively engaged in building a positive school culture at OHS.

We're off to another exciting year! What makes OHS an outstanding school is both the number and quality of opportunities our students are provided. The purpose of this blog is to highlight and share the amazing things that take place at Oxford High School. Our mission is to provide an education that challenges all students to achieve their maximum potential. We strive to help our students become the best version of themselves. Our amazing students inspire our staff and give us purpose to work hard to help them succeed. Our students also give us pride and joy when they excel at everything they do. This is why we aim to celebrate our success and accomplishments.

Relationships First. Learning is about making connections - both cognitively and socially. Without a connection, learning lacks meaning. We know that personal connections facilitate learning, and that's why we value the relationships we build with each other in our learning community.
